Remember when we were told to watch Fox News on a Sunday night that was going to air something about Obama and we watched but never saw anything! Well, read below and click on the video to see why it got pulled before it could air.

Now we know why Fox News never broadcast it as they had originally planned to. This piece was pulled.

*I encourage you to please send this to everyone on your email list ASAP.*

*Remember all the notices we kept getting to watch Fox News on Sunday at 9PM? What Happened?*

*This is the clip that got pulled due to pressure from the Administration.* Obama Puts Heat on Fox News to Prevent Sean Hannity from airing this piece.

*This is a video that Sean Hannity of FOX News has been trying to show that we are told has consistently been blocked by the Obama Administration for several weeks. It was a matter of time until the internet picked it up.*

“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833

This quote clearly points to the condition of our culture and nation today and also to how we can pray to see wisdom, righteousness, virtue and integrity recovered and restored in our lives, relationships as well as in our culture and nation. Remember that all sin begins with selfishness and deception and the first deception is usually self. (“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. We reap what we sow. Galatians 6:7). LET US PRAY

Heavenly Father, every day we choose over and over again either righteousness or deception. May we seek and know You more so that we will choose righteousness and not deceive ourselves. As we do this in the strength of Your Spirit and under the Lordship of Christ, may our nation may be exalted. May we also understand that this begins in our personal lives, then into our relationships, marriages and families and then extends into every other part of our culture and nation. We need You, so may we humble ourselves and seek You, knowing that if we do, we will find you. In Christs Name we pray. Amen.

Last week, we prayed in response to a shooting at Family Research Council (FRC) in Washington, D.C. AS more information came out about the shooting, it was discovered that the shooter was an activist that had been volunteering at a local gay rights organization. The shooting received only passing reference by mainstream media outlets and the fact that a gay rights activist was the perpetrator has largely been overlooked. All acts of vigilantism are condemnable, but at times like this we ought to ask whether labeling FRC a “hate group” by the notoriously left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center doesn’t contribute to the mess we’re in as a nation. In the days following the shooting, one commentator observed that to label FRC a “hate group” is the same thing as calling evangelical Christianity a “hate group” since FRC stands for evangelical values. LET US PRAY . . .

Father, we pray that You would embolden all those who stand for YOUR values, even in the face of evil and opposition. You tell us to pray for our enemies, so we pray that You bring this shooter to repentance (AND to justice). Lord, we thank You for FRC and pray that they would maintain their witness faithfully in the public square. This we pray in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

You ask, Why? It is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth. The man who hates and divorces his wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, does violence to the one he should protect, says the Lord Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful. Malachi 2:14-16

President Herbert Hoover said, “Children are our most valuable natural resource.” In the midst of all the controversy and frustration regarding marriage, parenting and children, let us remember that God in His Word clearly tells us that He desires a husband and wife raising Godly offspring as a key purpose in marriage. All the empirical data point to and confirm what God has revealed regarding this in that children do best when raised by their biological parents or by an adoptive father and mother. May Christ’s Church seek to re-establish these Truths and God’s blessing regardless of the cost. LET US PRAY…

Heavenly Father, You are very clear in Your Word about marriage and Your desire to raise Godly children! May we, as Christ’s Church, stand firmly, boldly and graciously on Your Word of Truth and help others to see Your heart. May we once again receive Your blessing on our families and in Your Family, the Church, as we walk in faithful obedience in our marriages and in raising our children in accordance with Your Word. In Christ’s precious Name. Amen.

MORAL DECLINEOr do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

In a recent letter written by famed evangelist Billy Graham, he writes lamenting the moral decline of the nation and that his heart aches for America and its deceived people. The farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control, Graham wrote. Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone except God.

He compared the United States to Sodom, Gomorrah, and Ninevah, biblical cities cursed by God because of the disobedience. In Jonahs day, Nineveh was the lone world superpower wealthy, unconcerned, and self-centered, Graham wrote. When the Prophet Jonah finally traveled to Nineveh and proclaimed Gods warning, people heard and repented. I believe the same thing can happen once again, this time in our nation.

Father, we pray for America. We are in very difficult times. Aside from economic difficulties, our moral revolt against Your created order deceives us and separates us. Father, we pray not only for the restoration of “morality” or “civil religion,” but that a revival would break out, one that leads America back to its roots and honors You. Father, as Rev. Graham advises, help us to repent and turn to You. We pray this in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept careful records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to each of his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so he could tell from a distance when a rooster was performing.

This made things much easier for John. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out the efficiency reports simply by listening for the bells.

John’s favorite rooster, Old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this particular morning John realized that he hadn’t heard Old Butch’s bell ring even once! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, their bells a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To John’s amazement, Old Butch was holding his bell in his beak so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job, then go off in search of another one. John was so proud of Old Butch, he entered him in the Saint Lawrence County Fair. Old Butch became an overnight sensation and a hit with the judges. Not only did they award Old Butch the “No Bell Piece Prize,” but they awarded him the “Pullet Surprise,” as well.

Clearly, Old Butch was a politician in the making! Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention?
